Happiness Is…

…your partner making a dvd of cherry blossoms, with video footage he captured last year and scoring it with music from Sigur Ros, Patrick Watson and M83. All because I love cherry blossoms and that spring is my favourite season. Thanks babe. xo

Miss Mis-Fire

Christmas is definitely over when cute, little stuffies are pinned up, in order to be shot at. And either I’m out of practice (the gallery was closed for the whole month of December) because I couldn’t even hit one of them, or my subconscious just wouldn’t let me hit Happy Feet and friends.

Work Of Art


Ever wonder what you’d look like as an etching? Well, wonder no more! Etchings is a nifty little app that will turn your iPhotos into illustrated multi-lined works of art. Also, with its curvy lines illustrating shadow and depth, you can easily imagine what you’d look like on a dollar bill.

Return Of The Neckwarmer


Cats are so fickle and inconsistent sometimes. I thought Charlie had outgrown sleeping and neck cuddling with me, now that he’s made the towel basket in the bathroom linen closet his new favourite sleeping spot. I wistfully lamented to Sean that ‘my kitty no longer needs me.’

But then, Charlie surprised me after days and days, or rather nights and nights, away. He came back for neck cuddles with his human. Three times this morning, in fact. And although he woke me up from sleeping in on the weekend, I’m not going to complain. With cats being as changeable as they are, I’ll take what I can get.

Good morning, my little peanut.

New Year’s Day

Woke up this morning to this wonderful image. Jonesy, sitting serenely on the window bench at other side of our bedroom, greeting the new day.

She set the mood for my whole day and hopefully my year too.

They’re Almost Buddies


This picture makes me happy. Jonesy and Charlie being comfortable enough with each other that they could eat so close together. Because not so long ago, Jonesy was like this when it came to Charlie. And let’s not forgetĀ this.

They’re not at the point of being best buds. They’re not grooming each other and they sleep in different rooms. That could be because Charlie keeps trying to hug/straddle/hump her, although they’re both fixed. Awww, he just wants to love his new bestie.

2012: A Retrospective

2012 retrospective
2012! What a whirlwind year you have been. Luckily for humankind, we did not bite it, as per the Mayan calendar. And lucky for me because that’s when 2 became 1.

So how did we get to this most important year? Drumroll, please!

A Comfort Food Lover

I am not a foodie, by any means. I have friends who will seek out new restaurants in order to try everything on the menu, the more unusual, the better. For example, chomping down on bone marrow at a hoity-toity restaurant. As for me, I enjoy food enough, but I am hardly experimental. A big part of it being that I’m a pescetarian. Almost 6 years now.
